Sub-Human: A 21st-Century Ethic; on Animals, Collective Liberation, and Us All
This book, written by our founding director, isn’t specifically about fashion. Yet fashion must reckon with the ideas within it.
When Marie-Claire Daveu, Kering's Chief Sustainability and Institutional Affairs Officer, recommended this book on Vogue Business, she wrote this:
“Emma Hakansson explores the interconnection between animal rights, social justice and theories of oppression more widely. She connects the dots to highlight how creating hierarchies based on difference is driven by the desire for domination and the false idea of inferiority.
She stresses that animals, while different from humans, should not be considered as ‘sub-human’ and their differences should be more respected. Hakansson looks at the history of society’s othering and commodification of animals, while helping readers see the similarities with other forms of discrimination.
I recommend this book for its critical thinking and solutions for much-needed change — even if I don’t personally agree with all of the author’s analyses and proposals.”
If you’re considering reading this book, you might like to read a small portion of it on Good On You.
